Disability Services seeks to provide prompt responses to all requests for information or appointments. Specific accommodations for specific disabilities are discussed during a confidential interview.
Disability Services will obtain your permission before entering into discussions with parents, advocates, transition coordinators, rehabilitation services counselors or other professionals. Most services can be coordinated and provided in a confidential manner.
We are interested in discussing your specific needs in order to participate in the educational programs, activities and events sponsored by Inver Hills Community College. We avoid treating individuals as a member of a group requiring a pre-established set of accommodations and services. Instead we enter into a collaborative process in order to respond to the individual needs of student participating in specific educational programming.
You will receive a written response detailing the accommodations and services you can expect as a student of Inver Hills Community College. Throughout the year we will contact you on a periodic basis in order to inquire if you are receiving quality service, to resolve problems, and to solicit suggestions as part of a continuous quality improvement process.
If you lack adequate or up-to-date documentation of a disability, we can refer you to an appropriate professional organization or service. Please do not hesitate to call if we can be of assistance.
Disability Services seeks to assist students in the transition from high schools to college by providing information, referral and other services to transition students and by conducting presentations for students, parents, and special education personnel.
Disability Services serves as a resource to assure institutional compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the need to provide reasonable accommodations for otherwise qualified students with documented disabilities.
Disability Services acts as a resource to assure institutional compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the need to maintain policies that do not have a disparate impact on students with disabilities.
